Chapter 436: Yum~
After getting all the info about the tree like demon from goddess Damuda, Jayden concentrated and searched the ground right under the shrunken tree.
” Ah There it is, haha running away sneakily huh. ” He mumbled and pulled the demon core out with his telekinesis ability, as a small hole appeared in the ground and in less than a second the small core was pulled out.
A brown wood like substance was still attached to the Demonic core, and when it sensed that it had been pulled out of the ground, it began to release low screeches.
” It has some nice surviving ability. ” Jayden spoke and threw away the small wood like part that was still attached to the core, and within seconds it dried up too like the rest of its body and died after a little struggle.
” The demons here have all kinds of strange abilities, so never let your guard down even among the weakest of demons. ” He advised while looking at everyone, they all had surprised expressions on their faces after seeing the strange ability of the demon.
” Hubby, do you know about any other kinds of demons? Just how many types are there in this forest? ” Alice asked after getting closer to him, Jayden thought for a moment and decided to ask about it from the expert, so he contacted Goddess Damuda and asked her about the types of 1st Zone demons present in the forest.
After a couple of minutes, her sweet voice sounded in his head and she began to tell him about different kinds of demons, there were over a dozen types of demons who lived in different parts of the forest, either in groups or solo, Goddess Damuda have told him about the attack patterns of the demons and their weaknesses.
After Jayden had listened to everything he passed this information to everyone else,
they travelled a little further and came across more of the tree like and boulder like demons, but their group had no problems dealing with them after knowing their abilities.
When it began to turn a little dark they decided to rest for the night and set up various tents there, in their storage ring they had also brought many beds for sleeping.
Gathering some wood, they lit up a fire and sat around it while talking casually, although it might have attracted demons to their locations, but since Jayden had released a little of his aura all demons were scared shitless and didn’t dare approach them.
” When are you leaving? ” Sophie spoke, she was sitting on the left of Jayden and to his right was Alice, while Emma was running around playing with some toys. All the women waited for Jayden’s answer, while they ate some snacks that they had brought from the Beginning Kingdom.
” I’ll leave… the day after tomorrow, of course that is only if nothing goes wrong. ” He replied after thinking a little.
” Tomorrow we will arrive at the place with lots of demons, so you all will be fighting a lot, rest properly for today. ” He added then.
” Oh right… How about we try absorbing those 1st Zone demon cores, I’m really curious about them. ” Layla said and took out few cores out of her ring.
All the other members of the family also remembered this and took out the cores while placing them on theirs palms, then holding the cores in their hands they sat up cross legged in a meditative posture, and without another word, they closed their eyes and began to absorb those cores.
Jayden also decided to do the same and took out some of the demon cores out of his storage ring, he looked at the small spheric core and just as he was about to start absorbing them a thought came to his mind.
‘ Can Eve also absorb these cores? ‘ he wondered and casted his gaze down towards the small black jelly like creature that was jumping and playing on his lap.
” Eve, do you want it? ” He asked and brought one of the cores down towards her, at first she looked strangely at this round thing but after sensing the object she jumped up and down in excitement as if a kid had just seen a tasty candy.
” Kiuu kiuuu ”
Two pointy slimy arms formed out from the side of its small body and moved towards the core, letting it go Jayden let Eve take hold of the core as he watched, her holding it in her hands carefully.
Eve was just like a small child, seeing how cute it was all the women wanted to touch and caress it but it didn’t let anyone touch it and always hid under Jayden’s sleeves, Emma was the only one who didn’t seem to like Eve at all for some reason.
Under his curious gaze, Eve brought the core towards the area under her eyes and then a small hole appeared, as she opened her mouth wide and then she devoured the entire core in a single bite.
” Kieeuuu~ ”
As if eating a great delicacy, Eve placed her small hands on either side of her mouth and released a satisfied sound.
Jayden looked at her in surprise, he hadn’t expected that Eve would just eat the core but after thinking a little, it made sense to him after all this is how all demons’ and beasts’ bodies function, they wouldn’t sit and mediate like humans but would just eat other beasts or demons to grow stronger.
After eating the core, Eve jumped up and down on his lap and then rubbed her smooth like silk head against Jayden’s hand showing its happiness and affection.
Jayden smiled seeing the action of the cute little thing, he was already getting fond of her and could also feel her emotions since they shared a deep connection.
” Eve, you can have more. ” Jayden said and placed around ten more cores on his left palm and took a few in his right and closed his eyes while Eve happily devoured all ten of the cores.
Jayden concentrated his mind towards his right palm and towards the cores, with just a thought he tried to absorb them into his body and felt a slight suction force being created across his palm, within seconds Jayden felt as if all the cores had turned in cold liquid and it entered directly into his body through the pores of his palm.
It gave a relaxed and cool sensation all over his hand, unlike the normal energies that they all absorb, this cool liquid didn’t seem to go into his energy centre, instead, it began to accumulate right beside his energy centre near his chest area.
A cool feeling travelled across his entire body, as he absorbed over a dozen cores in less than twenty seconds.
Just as Goddess Damuda had told him, the energy from the demon core really seemed to be creating a new energy centre in his chest, close to his heart.
But since Jayden had only used a dozen cores, he was only able to gather a little bit of energy, which then formed a little part of the new energy centre.
